Lilja and her x-mas tree #2

The car wash is soooo exciting!!

we are always outside

Sorry for repeat places that we go. But we love going down to the river with the dogs. Lilja loves to play with Chiefer and throw rocks in the water and the dogs just go crazy running everywhere..I am trying to make pictures again with my camera instead of the phone and these came out great, if I may say so myself ;)

Lilja's three year check-up

Lilja's three year check-up was today.. I always prepare Lilja a little bit, so she knows what is going on. Luckily we did not have to do shots, but we were going to give her a nasal flu short. So this morning, Lilja and I (aran was hunting for work) were talking about our day and I asked her what she wanted to do after the doctor's visit. Lilja replied:" Momma, I think it would be a good idea to get some ice-cream". well, with that kind of answer, we had to go. We do not do sugar often, as Lilja goes CRAZY!!! which she did this evening for a while, but that was our fault, and we just laughed with her.. she was silly!!



getting a "hug" around her arm..



Dr. Kelly is just wonderful. She was one of my moms when I was the coordinator at the family center and she would join my playgroups, so we have a great connection.

Feeling her belly and checking her hips... all perfect!! and a very strong healthy heart! Lilja was 26 pounds and 35 inches long.. she has definitely had a growth spurt!! 

and then her favorite; Chocolate frozen yogurt with three peanut m&m and some strawberries, plus some extra sprinkles on top..  she was loving it!! 

caroling with Santa Claus

The holiday season has started. On Friday we walked downtown while singing every x-mas song you can imagine with 100 of our closest friends....Plus Santa Claus was riding next to us in a horse and carriage. I guess the reindeer were not ready yet ;)

Lilja has been a little under the weather this week, actually all of us.. but in this picture i can really see it. She was such a trooper. I did not want her to miss this experience.. Glowstick, check, warm coat,,, check.. no nap... check... smile on Lilja's face when she saw Santa?.. priceless!!

Getting ready to carol all the way dwontown and then they are lighting all the tree lights and the big tree.. so fun, so ready for this fun holiday season with lilja being a little older this year!! Sorry, Our camera is broken and the phone is not as reliable to make good pictures as i wish it was.. sorry for the blurry ones

Look there is santa.. on the right!!

Lilja's transportation walking all the way to the north end of downtown..Great job daddy!! This is not his cup of tea, but he was a great sport!! 

Lilja got a great hat and slippers from jasmin's mom all the way from Alaska.. Thanks martha!! she kept taking them off and on.. loves doing everything on her own!! and great colors!!
